SIBI-P1 H1819-20
you (fem.) liken
| Root | דמה (d-m-h) |
| Core Meanings | to resemble, to compare, to liken, to imagine, to consider |
| Semantic Range | to resemble, be like, compare, liken, imagine, devise, consider, think |
| Conceptual Significance | The root often frames acts of comparison—whether in poetic simile, theological analogy, or human imagination. It can carry the weight of forming likenesses, including improper comparisons with the Divine, thus touching on themes of idolatry, perception, and discernment. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew verb, Piel stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 2nd person feminine singular. The dagesh in the middle consonant marks the intensive Piel stem. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root דמה conveys resemblance or comparison. In the Piel stem it commonly means "to liken" or "to compare" in an active, deliberate sense. The form is 2nd person feminine singular imperfect, so the rendering preserves the feminine singular "you" and reflects the active Piel nuance. |
